making sure that we are controlling our own energy but not just the energy of today but also the energy of the future. all of those things will make a difference so the point is the commitments i've made, i've kept. and those that i haven't been able to keep, it is not for lack of trying and we're going to get it done in a second term. but you should pay attention to this campaign because governor romney's made some commitments as well. and i suspect he'll keep those too. when members of the republican congress say we're going to sign a no tack pledge so we don't ask a dime to reduce our deficit so we can still invest in education and help kids go to college he said me, too. when they said we're going to cut planned parenthood funding he said me too. when he said we're going to repeal obama care, first thing i'm going to do despite the fact it is the same healthcare plan that he passed in massachusetts. and is it is working well. he said me too. that is not the kind of leadership that you need but you should expect that those are promises he's going to keep. >> mr. president -- >> obama
